Gene Pompa: Older Latino Actors

I feel bad for older male Latino actors ’cause older male Hispanic actors — they always give them the same crappy line in every hacky movie. Like, you’ll see the guy’s son, and he’ll die in a hail of gunfire. Then the father, he’ll drop to his knees, and he’ll go, ‘You don’t understand. He was my only son.’ Which is so stupid, ’cause what else is he supposed to say? ‘It’s OK. I’ve got two other sons.’
